The community is invited to participate in a follow-up town hall meeting on Tuesday, May 13, to detail and discuss actions Chevron is taking to minimize flaring and improve its environmental compliance.
During the upcoming event set for 6 p.m. at CoBiz Richmond (1503 Macdonald Ave.), Chevron Richmond representatives will present on flaring activity, air quality performance and provide updates on improvements to public information systems. Community members can register here to attend the free event, where light dinner and refreshments will be provided.
Hosted by Ceres Policy Research, the town hall will also feature interactive breakout discussions focused on real-time alerts, environmental health concerns and accountability strategies. A public comment period will enable residents to voice their experiences, ideas and concerns directly to the CAP team and Chevron Richmond representatives.
This event aims to build upon the first town hall that took place last fall at the same location. The series of town halls is an opportunity for residents, local leaders and environmental advocates to assemble and provide feedback on the Community Action Plan (CAP). The CAP was developed in response to Chevron’s settlement with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in February 2024, and it will help shape how Chevron shares information with the community in the future.
“This event is part of an ongoing commitment to ensure Richmond residents are centered in the planning and implementation of long-term environmental protections and transparency measures,” town hall organizers said.
